      He can pardon him now. It’s only the crime (or even alleged crime) that needs to have happened before the pardon. Consider Ford’s pardon of Nixon, which occurred before Tricky Dick was indicted.

      As much as I know Demos are better than Repubs, this is one of those areas where they are the same picture. Long live the ruling class!

      Luigi will almost certainly only face state level charges. The President can only pardon federal charges.

        For state level charges, it would have to be the governor, right? Maybe the governor of NY could do him a solid.

            I mean, I don’t think any US politician could do so without it being career suicide. I don’t know Hochul’s policies, but she probably didn’t get the governorship by being an anticapitalist.

      What could Joe do for state/local crimes? He only has power to pardon federal crimes.

        Not by the president unless it’s federal crime
